Title: AAU APLU Guide to Accelerate Public Access to Research Data
The Association of American Universities (AAU) and the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU) have collaborated and led national discussions to improve public access to data resulting from federally funded research. As part of the NSF-funded (NSF # 1939279) Accelerating Public Access to Research Data Initiative, AAU and APLU convened representatives from the university teams at an Acceleration Conference in 2020 and facilitated two national Summits to help universities create robust systems for ensuring effective public access to high-quality research data and develop the current Guide. The Guide has been informed by 261 campus representatives from 111 institutions, representatives from several federal agencies, and other key stakeholders. The Guide is designed to help institutions develop and promote systems to support sharing of research data. It provides advice concerning actions that can be taken to improve access to research data on campuses. It also contains information about the infrastructure and support that may be required to facilitate data access, and it offers specific examples of how various institutions are approaching challenges to sharing research data and results.  more » « less

    The Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU) and the Association of American Universities (AAU), with support from the National Science Foundation, convened the Accelerating Public Access to Research Data Workshop on October 29-30, 2018. The purpose of the workshop was to provide a venue for learning, sharing, and planning (campus roadmaps) to support research universities as they create and implement institutional and cross-institutional strategies and systems to provide public access to research data. It also provided a forum for participants to hear from federal agencies concerning their current activities and plans regrading data access. To date, institutional efforts to provide public access to research data have lacked coordination. Additionally, a long-term multi-institutional strategy for data access has been slow to develop due to the complexities of data management and the decentralized nature of the research enterprise. Access to data presents a particularly difficult challenge given the technical knowledge required and the variation in data creation and use across disciplines. While providing the public with access to tax-payer-funded research data is challenging, it will ultimately speed the pace of scientific advancement and innovation and strengthen research integrity. The workshop and report, together with prior and subsequent engagement by APLU and AAU, will help to accelerate public access to research data.

    As data management and sharing policies have expanded in the federal and private funding spheres, the costs to support institutions and researchers in meeting these expenses for services and infrastructure are not fully understood. A number of higher education organizations are conducting research and developing tactics for cost assessments of infrastructure and services distributed within institutions. This panel will present a snapshot of work recently started at the Federal Demonstration Partnership (FDP), the Council of Government Relations (COGR), and the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) to investigate where public access to research data costs are incurred at an institution, with the goal of assisting universities in defining a strategy for planning for those costs.

    This dataset is the result of studies conducted during phase one (NSF-funded) of the Realities of Academic Data Sharing (RADS) Initiative, based out of the Association of Research Libraries. Studies were conducted with federally-funded researchers and institutional administrators who support data sharing practices within their department or unit at the following institutions: Cornell University, Duke University, University of Michigan, University of Minnesota, Virginia Tech, and Washington University in St. Louis. The 2022 RADS studies were retrospective, investigating data sharing and management activities and support services from 2013 to 2022. Two surveys were utilized to collect data, the Institutional Infrastructure Survey for administrators and the Researcher Survey for federally-funded researchers. This dataset presents data from both of these surveys. Project website: https://www.arl.org/realities-of-academic-data-sharing-rads-initiative/

    The National Science Foundation Advanced Technological Education (NSF-ATE) program has grant funding opportunities available to support CTE and STEM technician program development. NSF-ATE grant funding opportunities are intended to help educators develop or improve their 2-year technician programs. Proposals may focus on program, curriculum, and educational materials development, program improvement, faculty professional development, teacher preparation, career pathways, outreach activities, undergraduate research experiences, internships, apprenticeships, and more. Partnerships with universities, colleges, and 7-12 institutions in support of workforce development are encouraged. Industry partnerships are essential for NSF-ATE projects. NSF-ATE supports Emerging Technologies and technologies such as Biotechnology, Engineering, Energy, Environmental, Agricultural, Advanced Manufacturing, Micro/Nano Technologies, Information, Security, and Geospatial. Multiple categories of NSF-ATE grant funding are available including Projects, Small Projects for Institutions New to ATE, Applied Research on Technician Education, National Centers, and Resource Centers. The new NSF-ATE solicitation (NSF 21-598) was released in 2021 and includes higher funding levels and multiple categories of grant funding opportunities, including a new Consortia for Innovations in Technician Education. NSF-ATE has some helpful resources for educators planning to develop or improve their courses or programs. Mentoring opportunities for grant proposal development are available through multiple projects such as Mentor-Connect, MNT-EC (Micro Nano Technology Education Center), Mentor Up, Project Vision, Pathways to Innovation, CCPISTEM, and FORCCE-ATE. Each of these projects has a unique approach and a different focus to help their mentees successfully submit NSF-ATE grant proposals.
